 The colour codes correspond with descriptions of language vitality given by four websites: the website of Unesco's Atlas for languages in danger, the online Ethnologue, the Endangered Languages website, and Glottolog.\\
 Each website uses its own, unrelated, system to rate a language's vitality, using terms such as "vulnerable", "endangered", "critically endangered", etc. Mercator's wiki chooses to represent these vitality descriptions with colour codes, so that the viewer can quickly get an idea of the language's vitality.
+In 2024, the colour codes were updated on the Wiki, as changes were made in the scales of the public section of Ethnologue.
